“…With reference to the necessary impact cost assessment and the guidelines of better legislative practice, the Commission has blocked sectoral social dialogue agreements or refused to implement them several times since 2012 (Tricart, 2019; I/ETUC). The Commission's attempts to dismantle the sectoral dialogue culminated in its refusal to implement the 2016 framework agreement on information and consultation rights for workers in central government agencies (Golden, 2019). The Commission thus fundamentally called into question the binding nature of sectoral agreements.…”

“…Nevertheless, EU labour policy was a much-researched subject in the academic literature prior to the euro crisis (Goetschy, 2001; La Porte and de Pochet, 2004; Overbeek, 2003). In particular, the growing tendencies towards Europeanization since the early 2000s have led scholars to look at the new forms of governance designed to be used to govern labour policy in the EU (Hodson and Maher, 2001; Kohler-Koch, 1999).…”

The architecture of European labour policy has changed in the past years of the euro crisis and its management. While in the pre-crisis phase EU labour policy still had a mainly symbolic character, the EU crisis management gave it a much more binding character. The article analyses the continuities and shifts in European labour policy against the background of austerity and crisis policy arguing that a new labour policy complex was able to emerge at the European level. While institutional shifts were considerable, the market-liberal orientation of labour policy remained in place. However, it was radicalized with the resilience approach. The article therefore provides an overview of the continuity and change of European labour policy in the euro crisis on the basis of institutional and discursive shifts.

In response to the last recession, the European Union (EU) adopted a new economic governance (NEG) regime. An influential stream of EU social policy literature argues that there has been more emphasis on social objectives in the NEG regime in more recent years. This article shows that this is not the case. It does so through an in‐depth analysis of NEG prescriptions on wage, employment protection and collective bargaining policy in Germany, Italy, Ireland and Romania between 2009 and 2019. Our main conclusion is that the EU's interventions in these three industrial relations policy areas continue to be dominated by a liberalization agenda that is commodifying labour, albeit to a different degree across the uneven but nonetheless integrated European political economy. This finding is important, as countervailing transnational trade union action is the more likely, the more there is a common threat. Even so, our contextualized analysis also enables us to detect contradictions that could provide European labour movements opportunities to pursue countervailing action.
